Manchester United is reportedly gearing up for a sensational move to secure Barcelona's teenage superstar, Dro Fernandez. This 17-year-old sensation has already left jaws dropped among his teammates at Barca with his astonishing talent.

Fernandez, touted as one of the brightest gems in Barcelona's prestigious academy, has been warming the bench during the first three La Liga matches of the season, drawing attention from top clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool.

As reported by Fichajes, Manchester United is now in the mix, keen to explore a potential deal for Fernandez. The young midfielder is said to be intrigued by the idea of heading to the Premier League, which puts Barcelona in a tough spot to retain their rising star.

Currently under contract until June 2027, Fernandez will celebrate his 18th birthday in January, making these upcoming months vital for his future decisions. Notably, he has already bagged two goals in seven appearances for Barcelona's Under-19 squad in the UEFA Youth League, and made his senior debut with Barcelona B recently.

The young talent even found the net during pre-season against Vissel Kobe, underscoring his readiness for first-team action. Reports indicate that his pre-season training performances left both teammates and coaching staff at Barcelona in complete awe.

If Manchester United, influenced by minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, pulls off this signing, it would mark a bold statement of intent. With Ratcliffe steering the club toward a strategy focused on nurturing young talent, the Red Devils are looking to shift away from signing established stars.

However, the race for Fernandez will not be easy, as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea are also vying for his signature. To make the move appealing, United needs to clearly communicate their ambitious project to the young wunderkind.
